The BeoLab 4000 is designed
to accomodate many place-
ment alternatives and takes up
very little space. In fact, it can
be placed in a position which
suits its surroundings and your
preferred listening position.
The BeoLab 4000 can, of course,
be used in connection with your
audio system. The speaker units
are magnetically shielded and
you can safely connect a pair of
speakers to your video system
without affecting the picture
quality (you may even connect
a pair of speakers to your com-
puter system and benefit from
their exceptionally good sound
handling capabilities). The Beo-
Lab 4000 may also be used in a
surround sound system.
The BeoLab 4000s are extreme-
ly suitable for use in a link
room.
On the following two pages we
have listed a few things which
should be considered before
setting up the BeoLab 4000:
n
Do not connect any units in
your system to the mains, until
after you have made the other
connections (as described on
page 6 and 7).
n
For safety reasons, the mains
cord
must be
secured as ex-
plained on page 7.
n
The BeoLab 4000 is designed
for use in
dry environments
on-
ly
, and for use within a tempe-
rature range of 10 – 40° C
(50 – 105° F).
n
When the BeoLab 4000 is
placed standing in an upright
position (or in the Base type
2037 – optional accessory) make
sure that the power switch is
at the base (i.e. the speaker will
be more stable because its
centre of gravity will be low).
n
In order not to impede ven-
tilation alway leave at least
1 cm (½") above the BeoLab
4000.
n
To support the weight of the
BeoLab 4000 always use the
correct size and type of screws
and wall plugs (depending on
the material and the construc-
tion of the wall).
If in doubt, consult your Bang
& Olufsen dealer.
n
Light partition walls are of-
ten constructed of gypsum
panels – known as drywall or
wall board – secured to vertical
studs. Gypsum is not a satisfac-
tory material to support the
weight of the BeoLab 4000!
You may, however, hang your
BeoLab 4000 on a gypsum wall,
but be sure to use the correct
size and type of screws.
n
Remember that all speakers
in a setup need a connection to
a mains outlet, and they are
designed to be left on at all
times.
n
When you are placing the
speakers try to ‘aim the front
cloth’ towards your preferred
listening position.
